New golf shoes 2021: Skechers
The new Skechers range is so vast it is hard to know where to start. As always the designs aim to deliver ultimate comfort but this years models have been designed with feedback from tour stars including Matt Kuchar and Brooke Henderson.
The core of the 2021 range is built on existing proven technologies such as the Ultra flight midsole technology. So what’s new? New Arch for technology is an insole system designed by looking at over 120,000 foot scans to help provide optimal arch support. It is designed to mold to the shape of your foot, helping spread your weight out and reduce shock.
The new Max Bolt design features a pretty cool 3D printed textile upper. It is water repellant, has high rebound cushioning and a durable spikes sole.
RRP: £89
I really like the sporty feel of the Max sport offering. They are definitely more trainer like and are designed to be super lightweight. The upper is a breathable textile which is still water repellant.
RRP: £99
The shoe with the most innovative sole technology is the Elite 4 Victory. It features a unique gripflex sole which has numerous multi-direction cleats as well as lugs to provide superior traction and stability.
RRP: £99
The Elite Tour SL features a full leather upper, it is waterproof and via the soles each pair has 236 contact points with the ground for added traction.
RRP: £119
A new model for 2021 is the Torque Pro. It features leather detailing n the upper, a waterproof membrane and softspikes in the sole for maximum grip.
RRP: £99
The Pro 4 Legacy is the best shoe for wet weather with full waterproof protection. Again we have softspikes in the diamond traction sole plate for maximum grip no matter the conditions.
RRP: £119
The Arch Fit and Arch Fit Front Nine feature the new arch technology as well as a waterproof upper and goodyear performance outsole for traction and stability.
RRP: £89
When Brooke Henderson is involved in the insight behind a new product it is definitely something to get excited about. She is in fact one of a number of Tour pros who have been part of the design process for the Skechers 2021 women’s range. The new shoes also take inspiration from the brands running and lifestyle divisions.
The Skechers Go Golf Sketch-Air Dos combine style and comfort in a really sporty design. It features air-cooled memory foam for instant cushioning. I really love the simplicity of this design and the gold detailing.
RRP: £89
I love the colour pop in the Skechers Go Golf Tropics collection. This range features numerous different shoe styles all with their own vibrant island vibes. My favourite has to be the Sketch Air Tropics seen on the bottom left below, probably Skechers most attractive shoe to date.
RRP: £89
If you’re serious about getting the perfect foot support the Skechers Go Golf Arch Fit are for you. The arch support is podiatrist certified so you can be assured your foot is getting maximum support for stability out on the course.
RRP: £89
No laces, no problem. Skechers Go Golf Elite 3 Twist shoes feature a Twist Fit closure system to help you get the perfect fit. I really like the futuristic minimalistic style this adds to the shoe. It also features a spikeless durable TPU outsole.
RRP: £99
The Skechers Go Golf Max Swing are made from lightweight breathable textiles for maximum comfort. These are perfect for long days on the course as they won’t weigh you down. The striking design will also make you stand out on the fairways.
RRP: £79
If trainer styling is up your street the Skechers Go Golf Max Sport have got you covered. I particularly like this navy and pink option.
RRP: £79
The Go Golf Pro 2, Elite 3 Delux, Max Fairway 2 and Go Walk are also remaining in the range for 2021. You can read my reviews of the Go Golf Pro 2 and Go Walk here.
